Ever since the Hipster Olympics meme died, I’ve just been searching for an embeddable video that accurately reflected the current alternative zeitgeist in trendsetting major metropolitan arts communities. Most of the time these videos are made by ‘mainstreamers who go to film school who are releasing their inner-angst for not having an authentic personal brand which would give them credibility within their Film Criticism Class.’ H8 when these mainstreamers get their mainstream/aging GenXer friends to play ‘hipsterz’ in these videos.
/// Just want something that I am allowed 2 identify with, bc it ‘holds a mirror up 2 me’ and reflects who I really am.
XX BONUS MARKETING GIMMICK FROM 2K7 XX
This video reminds me of the glory days of 2k7. Back when masked DJs were a gimmickable gimmick, and the world’s ears were hungry for bangers. I haven’t even heard a banger in 10 blog years. Will the world still want 2 ‘party’ as hard as the people in this video in 2k9?
Will ‘alt celebs’ be ‘celebs’ in 2k9?
Will Uffie pour booze on my passed out, masked body in 2k9?

nothing has changed. you said yourself blog years and normal years don’t correspond. so why should anything change at the passage of normal time. Which rules are you living by carles? normal time? or blog time? you can’t pick and choose.

Ok… speaking as someone who lives on N9/Bedford, in the prime area of Wburg, all this hipster bullshit is kind of upsetting. Like, has anyone who makes fun of Wburg actually walked around the neighbourhood? The people who own the bodega by my building are Peruvian. I pass by “minority” races constantly. About 1/100 people I see are hipsters. Get yr shit str8, ya fuckin slimebags. Stop sitting at your computers, typing away about a place you hardly know and generalizing.
Luv,
Wburg resident of 10 years.

@N9/BEDFORD,
I lived on 8th & Berry from 1993-1998 and I can tell you that the neighborhood has gone to hell since then.

@N9/BEDFORD,
1 in 100????
i live in the neighborhood as well, except a little further east, almost bushwick. i walk down bedford ave almost every day and this is how i breakdown the demographics represented on that strip of land:
80% hipsters
15% polish people
5% “minorities” (brown people)

@N9/BEDFORD,
also..
peruvian people own the bodega on your block?? wow that’s so diverse.
no fucking shit man. all the bodegas are owned by peruvians, or koreans, or indians, or pakistanis. wtf are you talking about?
who are the people shopping in them? that’s the question. and the answer is white people.
you think pablo closes up at night and takes a northside cab to his waterfront high-rise?
shut up.

so last night i had a party at my house by my relatively small and secluded [and relatively crappy] college.
I was the ‘house dj’ [made a playlist and then hit play; kinda like what grltlk does].
Most people were mnstrmrs so i played a bunch of the juice-teases rmx and uffie. they loved it. then this slut came and kept bitching about playing some britney spears.
i kinda miss when bangers were alt
[2k7-miss u+<3!!!!]
